Sole Bay Jazz Band and Friends…

Thursday night the 12th July at the Sports Pavilion Ditchingham…with the Sole Bay Jazz Band and guests proved to be a very good evening indeed.

Always a gamble on how many will come along with all the holidays and sports on TV but a good crowd did turn up even though lots of empty seats, however those who were there were glad they did …as it was a rather nice evening.

Amazing how many lovely jazz numbers there are, and they were well played. 
Nice to see the Baritone Sax come out again Tim… and lovely that Bill seems to be well at home on that trombone, and Derek how at the age he is has so much puff is great. Alan and Tony always a treat, and thanks Gary for standing in for Craig. Then after the break along came Tim's friend John Parker who he sometimes plays in a band with from Ipswich with his Martin jazz guitar and added an even better depth to the second half. You all know how I love the guitar. so all in all well done Sole Bay…

Thanks Clover and Christine for another great raffle, and the boys for folding those tickets, and a huge thank you all for digging deep with supporting the band.

Nice to see Emily back behind the bar, thanks for your help Emily…always a lovely smile, and a really nice surprise that our Heidi came along for most of the evening so good to see her again.

Fudge hope you take care of that nasty bite…Maybe tights while running may be an idea…

This Saturday would have been Keith Denny's birthday, miss you Keith but know you are looking down and keeping an eye on me and the others… so sending our love to our Sheila we miss you seeing you at jazz.
In fact we miss a lot of those who have passed through, we never will forget any of you who have followed the band. So sad sometimes to see those empty seats.

A few photos Fudge had a good one of the band on FB as well.
